Mason Mount speaking on...

Mount is gonna be a Chelsea legend

I like him as a no.8 a lot. The main benefit to him as a CAM is having him leading the first press, but technically he's not quite good enough to justify what, as Biggish pointed out, is something of a luxury role in the PL. Oscar was just good enough technically & worked hard enough to make being a no.10 a good balance for him, Mount's not quite there yet.

As an LCM he can be much more effective to the team in possession, utilizes his industrious nature & general savviness better, and provided the entire team have an organized & efficient press you don't lose anything out of possession, though that'll take time obviously.

Havertz is much more of a classic no.10. Sort of defends when he feels like it but has the technical ability to act as a hub to everyone around him provided he's afforded space. Mount can do that with clever movement from the no.10 position but it's just not as effective.

And yes, don't like him as a winger. Again makes him apart of the first press, which Frank clearly values highly, but no.... just no

An Ex Naval Chief is rarely wrong harle!

Where do you think Mount's career would be under Jose? Would he have given Mount the chance? In this case, I think he may have.

Yep, he'd of liked Mount. Might not have been married to him like Frank is but he'd of got a fair shake.

When he's about 34 and had 6 loans maybe!

Nah, 24 y/o & three loans would suffice

Mourinho sacrificed Mata & KDB for Oscar, trust me he'd like Mount.

Were Mourinho's concerned I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw a Hippopotamus!
